Omnipure Q5486 Q-Series GAC & Phosphate Water Filter

The Omnipure Q5486 GAC and polyphosphate water filter is very user-friendly. Replacement of the spent media bed is done quickly by detaching the filter body from a permanent head with a twist of the wrist. The new Q5486 filter body is just as easily threaded into the head and the replacement is then complete. The Omnipure Q5486 is also available with the optional Twist Tap in-head valve system, which automatically turns the supply water off when the body is disconnected from the head. The Omnipure Q5486 Water Filter can be used in icemakers, refrigerators, beverage equipment, drinking fountains, undersink systems, and reverse osmosis systems. The Omnipure Q5486 GAC/Phosphate water filter consists of granular activated carbon used to reduce taste, odor and chlorine taste and odor along with a polyphosphate scale inhibitor.

Additional Information

Volume: 21.6 Cu. In., Fitting Size: This Q-Series filter is a replacement filter and must be used with an existing Q-Series head

If you do not have a head for the Omnipure Q-Series filters, you can purchase one of the Omnipure Q-Series heads below in the Related Products section. These heads are valved which means the water will automatically shut off when replacing the Q-Series water filter. The heads are available with 1/4" quick connect fittings, 1/4" NPT, or 3/8" NPT.

Instructions

1. Omnipure Q5486 water filters should be installed on cold water lines only

2. Omnipure Q5486 water filters should not be used where the water is microbiologically unsafe

3. Each time you change your filter, clean and apply silicone food grade lubricant (such as OR-LUBRICANT-LG or OR-LUBRICANT-SM) generously to both the small and large o-ring in the Q-Series Head

4. It is recommended that you replace the Omnipure H-118 O-Ring every time you change your filter

5. The H-118 O-Ring is the larger of the two o-rings in the Q-Series Head System

6. If you do not replace the H-118 O-Ring, you may experience leaking because the o-ring adjusts to the shape of the old filter, which may be slightly different than the new filter

7. The Omnipure H-011 O-Ring is the smaller o-ring in the Q-Series Head
